Modern Three-Room Apartment with Panoramic Views on NDSM-Wharf
Key Features
Upsides
- The ground lease (erfpacht) has been perpetually paid off, eliminating future annual lease payments and providing long-term financial security.
- Energy label A++ ensures very low energy costs and a comfortable indoor climate, supported by full insulation and district heating.
- The eighth-floor position offers unobstructed, wide views and excellent natural light through large window frames, enhanced by a room-wide balcony.
- The NDSM-werf location provides a unique living environment with cultural venues, restaurants like Pllek and IJver, and direct ferry access to Amsterdam Central Station.
- Communal amenities include a rooftop terrace for residents and a practical bicycle storage facility in the basement.
Downsides
- At 56.50 square meters of living space, the apartment is relatively small, which may feel restrictive for couples or families needing more room.
- The price per square meter of 8,509 euros is notably high, even for Amsterdam standards, reflecting the premium paid for the NDSM location.
- The bathroom is described as compact, which may limit comfort and storage space compared to larger apartments.
- As a gallery flat, the property may have less privacy than other apartment types, with a common corridor providing access to multiple units.
- The NDSM-werf, while well-connected by ferry, is physically separated from the Amsterdam city center by the IJ, requiring dependence on the ferry schedule for direct public transport access.
Description
This modern three-room apartment is situated on the eighth floor of a recently completed building in the dynamic NDSM-Straat in Amsterdam. The property offers a total living area of 56.50 square meters, complemented by a room-wide balcony measuring approximately 5.30 square meters. The building was constructed in 2023, which means that all installations, finishes, and structural elements are in new condition and meet current building standards.
The apartment features a practical and efficient layout that maximizes the available space. Upon entering through the L-shaped hallway, residents have access to all rooms in the property. The living room is characterized by large window frames that allow for abundant natural daylight to enter the space throughout the day. With a ceiling height of approximately 2.64 meters, the living area feels spacious and airy despite the compact footprint of the apartment. The open connection between the living room and the corner kitchen creates a cohesive living and cooking area. The kitchen is functionally arranged and equipped with built-in appliances that facilitate daily meal preparation.
Directly accessible from the living room is the room-wide balcony, which spans the full width of the living area. This outdoor space provides an opportunity to enjoy fresh air and take in the wide views of the surroundings at different times of the day. The elevated position on the eighth floor ensures that the view is unobstructed and offers a perspective over the NDSM area and parts of the IJ waterfront.
The apartment comprises two bedrooms. The master bedroom is positioned in a quiet part of the apartment, which contributes to a restful sleeping environment. Adjacent to the master bedroom is the second bedroom, which offers flexibility in its use. This space can serve as a home office, a walk-in closet, a nursery, or a guest room, depending on the needs of the residents. The configuration of these two rooms allows for various living arrangements and makes the apartment suitable for different household compositions.
The bathroom is compact but efficiently designed. It features a walk-in shower and a fixed washbasin. A separate toilet room with a small fountain is located in the hallway, which is a practical arrangement that allows multiple household members to use the facilities simultaneously. Also situated in the hallway is a deep, fixed closet that houses the connections for the washing machine and dryer. This dedicated laundry space keeps the appliances out of sight while remaining easily accessible.
The building is equipped with a lift, which provides convenient access to the eighth floor. The apartment has mechanical ventilation, contributing to a healthy indoor climate without the need to open windows regularly. TV cable connections are available for entertainment setup. The property has an energy label A++, which is the highest rating available and indicates excellent energy efficiency. This rating is achieved through full insulation and the use of district heating for both space heating and domestic hot water. The full insulation of the building envelope means that heat loss is minimized during the colder months and that the apartment remains comfortable with relatively low energy consumption.
Residents of this building have access to additional communal facilities. A beautifully designed rooftop terrace is available for the exclusive use of the building's inhabitants, providing an elevated outdoor space for relaxation and socializing. In the basement of the building, there is a shared bicycle storage area, which is a practical amenity in a city where cycling is a primary mode of transportation.
The property is subject to municipal ground lease (erfpacht), which has been perpetually paid off. This means that the current and future owners are not required to pay an annual ground lease fee, which represents a significant financial advantage compared to properties where the ground lease is still subject to periodic payments.
The NDSM-werf location has transformed from a former abandoned shipyard into a vibrant cultural hub along the banks of the IJ. The area is characterized by its industrial heritage, which has been preserved and integrated with new developments and creative initiatives. Within walking distance, residents can find a variety of hip coffee shops, cozy bars, and notable restaurants such as Pllek and IJver. The area offers a unique combination of cultural venues, art spaces, nightlife options, and culinary hotspots.
For daily groceries and specialty stores, there are suitable options in the immediate vicinity. The accessibility of the location is considered excellent. The free ferry to Amsterdam Central Station is located just around the corner, providing a quick connection to the city center and the broader public transport network. For those traveling by car, the ring road (A10) is easily accessible from the NDSM area.
The homeowners association (VvE) is properly organized, as evidenced by registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual general meetings, a periodic contribution of 158.59 euros per month, the presence of a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. These elements indicate a well-managed building with attention to long-term maintenance and financial stability.
The asking price for this apartment is 485,000 euros, which translates to approximately 8,509 euros per square meter of living space. The delivery of the property is by mutual agreement, allowing for some flexibility in the transfer timeline.
